A
300-level microbiology student of the University of Lagos, Jacob Eniola, has
died after allegedly consuming a poisonous substance known as sniper.

The
victim was said to have been rushed to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital,
Idi-Araba, where he gave up the ghost on Sunday.

It
is, however, unclear why the victim took the poison.

It
was gathered that the management of the school had already launched an
investigation into the case.

A
source said the victim took the poison on Saturday evening.

The
source said, “He stays in Biobaku Hall. It was on Saturday that he took the
poison and he was rushed to the hospital. This morning, we got the news that
he’s dead. I honestly cannot tell why he did that.”

Friends
of the deceased have also started pouring encomiums on the late student, whom
they described as gentle and easygoing.
